This learning brief summarises the key ideas emerging from regional dialogues to guide a continental dialogue that will agree on key actions to address the skills and jobs challenges in Africa, thereby promoting continental economic growth.
African Union (AU) member states individually and collectively are grappling with how to bring about transformative results in the development and growth of their economies. The African Union Commission (AUC) and African Union Development Agency’s New Partnership for African Development (AUDA-NEPAD) held dialogues in 2017 and 2018 (“Africa Talks Jobs”) to address youth employment and skills promotion across the continent.
To express a clear sense of purpose and to strengthen partnerships, skilling, and upskilling, the dialogue was transformed into ‘Africa Creates Jobs’ (ACJ).
